Ask a farmer about rocks. He’ll tell you all about them. Then ask him where he came from.
The answer is the retreating glacial ice sheet that once covered nearly all of Saskatchewan. The ice melted, the rocks in it got dumped in glacial till (the top layer of our land in nearly all of Saskatchewan). And that’s why your combine just chewed a rock. The climate changed, the ice left rocks, and your combine ate it.
Letter to the editor: 25,000 years from now, most of Canada will likely be covered by ice sheets, again. As it was 25,000 years ago
Going to need all the carbon to burn and every drop of the ” precious ” to stay alive come that day.
25,000 years from now may be the peak of the next ice age.
If the gang greens get their way, winters will start getting longer any time now.
And the First Nations will hunt, fish, and pick berries in a traditional manner under the ice.
Shall I run around with my hair on fire or should I wait another 21 thousand years?
I’d say wait VOWG. Let the retards running the asylum burn theirs first.
Beats waiting on a meteor.
I recall studying how climate could turn from “normal” to glacial in as little as a decade.
An Ice Age is much more likely than global warming ever was.
Just takes the odd volcano or 2 going hard and you’ve got your mini ice age in a year or two.
Enough to screw with food production, add in the Maunder Minimum, a rough La Nina and well…
“The year without a summer” (1816) shows how on any given day we’re only one major volcanic eruption away from famine.
With regard to glaciation, when someone bemoans how the Athabasca glacier is retreating in the Columbia Icefield, I tell them it used to end somewhere around Spokane, Washington, and I prefer the direction it’s been going to the alternative.
Nick …. the end in Spokane is a good one …. I will have to remember that 😉
My standard question to a greenie: “we’re coming out of an ice age, what SHOULD the temperature be doing?”
I can hear Trudeau’s inner voice: “I get that…but how did the glacial ice sheet know how to carve Saskatchewan into a cool looking trapezoid?”
I don’t know Mr.Zalischuk but he’s speaking my language. Describing the two psychopaths as “…malevolently stupid and evil.”
Perfection.
My Dad used to say we had two types of soil: rocks … and really bad stuff.
Ice ages come when the tilt of the Earth relative to the sun reaches a certain stage. It has reached that stage.
Ice ages generally last about 100,000-110,000 years, interglacials, the warm periods between them, generally last 10,000 years. This one has been going for 13,000 years.
The maximum time estimated for the start of the next ice age I have heard is 3000 years, the minimum is today. The “25,000 year” estimate seen here is extremely optimistic, one might even say wishful thinking.
He said the glaciation would likely start in about 2,000 years, so in 25,000 years, Saskatchewan’ll be mostly covered by ice. So you are both right.
Some of the climate scientists think that our CO2 output will delay a return of the ice by up to 50,000 years, but I think they are as wrong about that as they are many other things. Eccentricity of the earth’s orbit will eventually prevent summer melting and ice will start to accumulate.
This very affordable recently published book by Javier Vinós has a well-researched overview of the Pleistocene glaciations and the problems with the IPCC approach to climate science.

Perhaps we need to throw more virgins into volcanoes? Cut out victims’ hearts for sacrifice to the sun god? Oh wait, today’s carbon taxes will do the trick now.
(sarc.)
The mitigating factor for a coming ice age is that as massive quantities of water are sequestered in the ice sheets, sea levels will drop exposing additional lands for human and animal habitat. Recorded human civilization begins with the retreating ice sheets and consequent inundation of previously exposed coastal areas. Who knows if and what civilizations were submerged by rising oceans as ice caps retreated. Even in an ice age, the tropics will still be the tropics.
that will clean off those nasty tar sands plants and send them to Wisconsin
The ‘Big Rock’ in Okotoks, one of the largest known glacial erratics, is a piece off Mt. Edith Cavell up by Jasper. There are several smaller ones in the Airdrie area, as well..
I notice a lot of articles mentioning “world drought conditions are exposing ancient villages” or the like. What were global conditions back then that a village existed? Things change, was the Sahara always a desert? Was Greenland always covered in snow and ice? Did cow farts really get that bad?!
A buddy & I were comparing notes over beer a few weeks back on how we deal w/ Warmists. He always points to the tree stumps in the Arctic.
My personal favorite, related to the OP, is to go back ~450 million years when the Earth had an atmospheric CO2 concentration of ~4500 ppm and Earth underwent a near planet-wide ice age. Using their numbers, how is that even physically possible? In addition, how can we possibly be here to talk about it after CO2 concentrations climbed that high (or even higher)? According to them, we should have gone up in flames in some Warmist version of a Faustian nightmare hundreds of millions of years ago.
Yet, here we are, letting them play us for idiots at 419 ppm. I read recently that even if every drop of fossil fuel on the planet was burned up, atmospheric CO2 concentration would be around 1100 ppm. Every drop. That is less than what is often experienced on submarines and far less than your average greenhouse.
D B, I have been pointing out the CO2 farce for some time now.
70’s era ford 460 for every canadian if you vote me in as next pm.
